Your Harvest House does not meet the following 2 Standards for Charity Accountability:

Standard 11 (Financial Statements)
Make available to all, on request, complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When total annual gross income exceeds $1 million, these statements should be audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $1 million, a review by a certified public accountant is sufficient to meet this standard. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $250,000, an internally produced, complete financial statement is sufficient to meet this standard.

YHH does not meet this Standard because:

  • The organization states it does not have audited financial statements for the 2021 fiscal year.

Standard 13 (Accuracy of Expenses in Financial Statements)
Accurately report the charity's expenses, including any joint cost allocations, in its financial statements. For example, audited or unaudited statements which inaccurately claim zero fund raising expenses or otherwise understate the amount a charity spends on fund raising, and/or overstate the amount it spends on programs will not meet this standard.

YHH does not meet this Standard because its unaudited financial statements for 2022:

  • Reports the organization had no fundraising expenses. It is BBB Wise Giving Alliance's position that the organization incurred fundraising expenses associated with their self-reported direct mail appeals, grant proposals, internet, invitations to fundraising events, membership appeals, planned giving arrangements, print advertisements, telephone appeals, and radio.

Your Harvest House meets the remaining 18 Standards for Charity Accountability.
